El Cometa, officially registered as Cometa del Pacífico, is an established and highly affordable gated condominium complex in the heart of downtown Tamarindo, Costa Rica. Tucked away on a quiet residential side street near a children’s park and the Tamarindo Diria Resort, this intimate development consists of just 18 individual units.
One of El Cometa’s greatest advantages is its exceptional location. The complex is only one block from Tamarindo Beach, approximately a three-minute flat walk to the sand, while also providing easy access to the town’s restaurants, shops, cafés, nightlife, and other amenities. Despite its central setting, the property offers a peaceful residential atmosphere away from the activity of the main road.
The development offers a variety of floor plans, including comfortable one-bedroom, one-bathroom ground-floor condominiums, two-bedroom multi-level townhomes, and larger three-bedroom residences. Interiors generally feature open-concept living and dining areas connected to fully equipped kitchens with wood cabinetry. Many of the larger units also include private balconies, providing additional outdoor living space.
Select upper-level residences feature access to private rooftop terraces. The complex includes four rooftop terraces, offering additional space for relaxing, entertaining, enjoying morning coffee, or taking in sunset views over Tamarindo and toward the ocean.
At the center of the property is a tranquil outdoor swimming pool surrounded by tropical landscaping, creating a private retreat for residents and vacation guests. Additional amenities include secure gated parking, night security, and relatively low-maintenance common areas with reasonable HOA fees. With its combination of affordability, versatile layouts, and an outstanding walk-to-the-beach location, El Cometa is an attractive option for full-time living, a vacation residence, or an investment property in central Tamarindo.
